Dalam tutorial ini, Anda akan belajar tentang ekspresi reguler JavaScript (Regex) dengan bantuan contoh.
Dalam JavaScript, sebuah Reg ular Ex pression (regex) adalah obyek yang menggambarkan urutan karakter yang digunakan untuk mendefinisikan pola pencarian. Sebagai contoh,
/ a… s $ /
Kode di atas mendefinisikan pola RegEx. Polanya adalah: string lima huruf apa pun yang dimulai dengan a
dan diakhiri dengan s
.
Pola yang ditentukan menggunakan RegEx dapat digunakan untuk mencocokkan dengan string.
Ekspresi | Tali | Cocok? |
---|---|---|
/^a… s$/ | abs | Tidak ada yang cocok |
alias | Pertandingan | |
abyss | Pertandingan | |
Alias | Tidak ada yang cocok | |
An abacus | Tidak ada yang cocok |
Buat RegEx
Ada dua cara untuk membuat ekspresi reguler di JavaScript.
- Menggunakan ekspresi reguler literal:
Ekspresi reguler terdiri dari pola yang diapit di antara garis miring/
. Sebagai contoh,cost regularExp = /abc/;
/abc/
adalah ekspresi reguler. - Menggunakan
RegExp()
fungsi konstruktor :
Anda juga dapat membuat ekspresi reguler dengan memanggilRegExp()
fungsi konstruktor. Sebagai contoh,const reguarExp = new RegExp('abc');
Sebagai contoh,
const regex = new RegExp(/^a… s$/); console.log(regex.test('alias')); // true
Dalam contoh di atas, string alias
cocok dengan pola RegEx /^a… s$/
. Di sini, test()
metode ini digunakan untuk memeriksa apakah string cocok dengan pola.
Ada beberapa metode lain yang tersedia untuk digunakan dengan JavaScript RegEx. Sebelum kita menjelajahinya, mari pelajari tentang ekspresi reguler itu sendiri.
Jika Anda sudah mengetahui dasar-dasar RegEx, lompat ke Metode JavaScript RegEx.
Tentukan Pola Menggunakan RegEx
Untuk menentukan ekspresi reguler, metakarakter digunakan. Dalam contoh di atas ( /^a… s$/
), ^
dan $
adalah karakter meta.
Karakter Meta
Metakarakter adalah karakter yang diinterpretasikan secara khusus oleh mesin RegEx. Berikut daftar karakter meta:
(). $ * +? () () |
()
- Tanda kurung siku
Tanda kurung siku menentukan sekumpulan karakter yang ingin Anda cocokkan.
Ekspresi | Tali | Cocok? |
---|---|---|
(abc) | a | 1 pertandingan |
ac | 2 pertandingan | |
Hey Jude | Tidak ada yang cocok | |
abc de ca | 5 pertandingan |
Di sini, (abc)
akan cocok jika string yang Anda coba cocokkan berisi salah satu a
, b
atau c
.
Anda juga dapat menentukan rentang karakter menggunakan -
tanda kurung siku di dalam.
(a-e)
sama dengan (abcde)
.
(1-4)
sama dengan (1234)
.
(0-39)
sama dengan (01239)
.
Anda dapat melengkapi (membalikkan) himpunan karakter dengan menggunakan ^
simbol tanda sisipan di awal tanda kurung siku.
(^abc)
means any character except a
or b
or c
.
(^0-9)
means any non-digit character.
.
- Period
A period matches any single character (except newline ''
).
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
… | a | No match |
ac | 1 match | |
acd | 1 match | |
acde | 2 matches (contains 4 characters) |
^
- Caret
The caret symbol ^
is used to check if a string starts with a certain character.
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
^a | a | 1 match |
abc | 1 match | |
bac | No match | |
^ab | abc | 1 match |
acb | No match (starts with a but not followed by b ) |
$
- Dollar
The dollar symbol $
is used to check if a string ends with a certain character.
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
a$ | a | 1 match |
formula | 1 match | |
cab | No match |
*
- Star
The star symbol *
matches zero or more occurrences of the pattern left to it.
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
ma*n | mn | 1 match |
man | 1 match | |
mann | 1 match | |
main | No match (a is not followed by n ) |
|
woman | 1 match |
+
- Plus
The plus symbol +
matches one or more occurrences of the pattern left to it.
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
ma+n | mn | No match (no a character) |
man | 1 match | |
mann | 1 match | |
main | No match (a is not followed by n ) |
|
woman | 1 match |
?
- Question Mark
The question mark symbol ?
matches zero or one occurrence of the pattern left to it.
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
ma?n | mn | 1 match |
man | 1 match | |
mann | No match (more than one n character) |
|
main | No match (a is not followed by n ) |
|
woman | 1 match |
()
- Braces
Consider this code: (n,m)
. This means at least n
, and at most m
repetitions of the pattern left to it.
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
a(2,3) | abc dat | No match |
abc daat | 1 match (at daat ) |
|
aabc daaat | 2 matches (at aabc and daaat ) |
|
aabc daaaat | 2 matches (at aabc and daaaat ) |
Let's try one more example. This RegEx (0-9)(2, 4)
matches at least 2 digits but not more than 4 digits.
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
(0-9)(2,4) | ab123csde | 1 match (match at ab123csde ) |
12 and 345673 | 3 matches (12 , 3456 , 73 ) |
|
1 and 2 | No match |
|
- Alternation
Vertical bar |
is used for alternation (or
operator).
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
a|b | cde | No match |
ade | 1 match (match at ade ) |
|
acdbea | 3 matches (at acdbea ) |
Here, a|b
match any string that contains either a
or b
()
- Group
Parentheses ()
is used to group sub-patterns. For example, (a|b|c)xz
match any string that matches either a
or b
or c
followed by xz
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
(a|b|c)xz | ab xz | No match |
abxz | 1 match (match at abxz ) |
|
axz cabxz | 2 matches (at axzbc cabxz ) |
- Backslash
Backslash is used to escape various characters including all metacharacters. For example,
$a
match if a string contains $
followed by a
. Here, $
is not interpreted by a RegEx engine in a special way.
If you are unsure if a character has special meaning or not, you can put in front of it. This makes sure the character is not treated in a special way.
Special Sequences
Special sequences make commonly used patterns easier to write. Here's a list of special sequences:
A
- Matches if the specified characters are at the start of a string.
Expression | String | Matched? |
---|---|---|
Athe | the sun | Match |
In the sun | No match |

Tip: To build and test regular expressions, you can use RegEx tester tools such as regex101. This tool not only helps you in creating regular expressions, but it also helps you learn it.
Now you understand the basics of RegEx, let's discuss how to use RegEx in your JavaScript code.
JavaScript Regular Expression Methods
As mentioned above, you can either use RegExp()
or regular expression literal to create a RegEx in JavaScript.
const regex1 = /^ab/; const regex2 = new Regexp('/^ab/');
In JavaScript, you can use regular expressions with RegExp()
methods: test()
and exec()
.
There are also some string methods that allow you to pass RegEx as its parameter. They are: match()
, replace()
, search()
, and split()
.
Method | Description |
---|---|
exec() | Executes a search for a match in a string and returns an array of information. It returns null on a mismatch. |
test() | Tests for a match in a string and returns true or false. |
match() | Returns an array containing all the matches. It returns null on a mismatch. |
matchAll() | Returns an iterator containing all of the matches. |
search() | Tests for a match in a string and returns the index of the match. It returns -1 if the search fails. |
replace() | Mencari kecocokan dalam string dan mengganti substring yang cocok dengan substring pengganti. |
split() | Memecah string menjadi larik substring. |
Contoh 1: Ekspresi Reguler
const string = 'Find me'; const pattern = /me/; // search if the pattern is in string variable const result1 = string.search(pattern); console.log(result1); // 5 // replace the character with another character const string1 = 'Find me'; string1.replace(pattern, 'found you'); // Find found you // splitting strings into array elements const regex1 = /(s,)+/; const result2 = 'Hello world! '.split(regex1); console.log(result2); // ("I", "am", "learning", "JavaScript", "RegEx") // searching the phone number pattern const regex2 = /(d(3))D(d(3))-(d(4))/g; const result3 = regex2.exec('My phone number is: 555 123-4567.'); console.log(result3); // ("555 123-4567", "555", "123", "4567")
Bendera Ekspresi Reguler
Bendera digunakan dengan ekspresi reguler yang memungkinkan berbagai opsi seperti pencarian global, pencarian tidak peka huruf besar / kecil, dll. Bendera dapat digunakan secara terpisah atau bersamaan.
Bendera | Deskripsi |
---|---|
g | Melakukan pertandingan global (temukan semua pertandingan) |
m | Melakukan pencocokan multiline |
i | Melakukan pencocokan tidak peka huruf besar / kecil |
Contoh 2: Pengubah Ekspresi Reguler
const string = 'Hello hello hello'; // performing a replacement const result1 = string.replace(/hello/, 'world'); console.log(result1); // Hello world hello // performing global replacement const result2 = string.replace(/hello/g, 'world'); console.log(result2); // Hello world world // performing case-insensitive replacement const result3 = string.replace(/hello/i, 'world'); console.log(result3); // world hello hello // performing global case-insensitive replacement const result4 = string.replace(/hello/gi, 'world'); console.log(result4); // world world world
Contoh 3: Memvalidasi Nomor Telepon
// program to validate the phone number function validatePhone(num) ( // regex pattern for phone number const re = /^(?((0-9)(3)))?(-. )?((0-9)(3))(-. )?((0-9)(4))$/g; // check if the phone number is valid let result = num.match(re); if (result) ( console.log('The number is valid.'); ) else ( let num = prompt('Enter number in XXX-XXX-XXXX format:'); validatePhone(num); ) ) // take input let number = prompt('Enter a number XXX-XXX-XXXX'); validatePhone(number);
Keluaran
Masukkan nomor XXX-XXX-XXXX: 2343223432 Masukkan nomor dalam format XXX-XXX-XXXX: 234-322-3432 Nomor tersebut valid
Contoh 4: Memvalidasi Alamat Email
// program to validate the email address function validateEmail(email) ( // regex pattern for email const re = /S+@S+.S+/g; // check if the email is valid let result = re.test(email); if (result) ( console.log('The email is valid.'); ) else ( let newEmail = prompt('Enter a valid email:'); validateEmail(newEmail); ) ) // take input let email = prompt('Enter an email: '); validateEmail(email);
Keluaran
Enter sebuah email: hellohello Masukkan email yang valid: [email protected] Email tersebut valid.
